How can i make myself be sick??? (TMI)

[wurlywurly]

I feel so sick and just want to be sick to get rid of the feeling, cant shove my fingers down my throat it just doesnt work.

help

But you aren't feeling sick because of something you ate/drank though are you? It is emotional turmoil...I think you need distraction rather than vomit-inducing techniques.

it is because of how you are feeling isn't it.

Do you really think being sick would help?

If so couple of pints of water and fingers (sorry only thing that worked for me).

If you want to relive the feeling rather than be sick fizzy water is good.

I don't think being sick will help get rid of the feeling.

Have you eaten today?

You really need to get out and do something

Can you go for a run? A walk? A swim?

Stick your fingers down your throat.

salt water will help you to be sick but make sure that you drink plain water after you have been sick to replace the fluid you lose throwing up

If you really want to make yourself sick, drink some salty water ...
Is this an entirely physical rather than emotional feeling?

cant eat, cant even stop crying at the moment.

flat lemonade will ease a dodgy tum, otherwise have a drink of mildly salted water (in the bathroom!) and it will make you sick, then drink fresh water afterwards.

wurly, you need to make some camomile tea and have a lie down with some of th eused teabags on your eyes

do breathing exercises

you need to eat something honey - that will stop you feeling sick and help you feel better - just a plain biscuit or something easy. It will make you more able to take this in if you have eaten.

have managed to eat some bread

Sorry i dont knoe you, or the full story of your nephew (i have seen your other thread) but surely making yourself sick will not help you or make you feel any better, now i might get parped here but i have to say, your nephew is 21 years old and fully responsable for his actions, he has had a tough time (drugs etc) but maybe now he will get the help he needs, im hope he will be out ASAP and he never has to go through this again.

Try and find something to take your mind off of it.

know not 'knoe'

don;t make yourself vomit

you are trying to get rid of emotional feelings, and vomiting won;t make them go away

need to try and face them

sob, scream, hit a pillow, vent the emotions, don;t vomit them up

sorry you are feeling so shitty

i dont know how to face them. I havent stopped crying since yesterday afternoon. Everytime I start doing something i end up thinking about him and then i'm back to square one.

{{{{hugs}}}}

I have no words to say to take your pain but I wanted you to know I am thinking of you

You poor thing. I haven't read your other thread but you're clearly a very caring and sensitive soul. Do you sometimes feel as though you care so much for others that you find it overwhelming? A really important part of being a good friend/ carer is making sure you set realistic boundaries for yourself, otherwise you can end up taking on more than you can manage, which could leave you feeling helpless, anxious and trapped. If you think this sounds like you, it may help to try 'retraining' youself - basically if we do something often enough we end up 'training' ourselves for that thing - e.g. bad eaters effectively 'train' their bodies to expect sugary/ fatty foods; optimistic people 'train' their minds to expect good things; and worriers 'train' themselves to focus on their fears. You might want to try spending a little time every day (try 30 seconds at a time and increase it) focusing on the positive things in your life, however large or small they may be - even let yourself smile). Another important thing is to make sure you spend a little time each day doing something nice for yourself rather than always looking after everyone else. Unless you teach yourself to set boundaries and stick within them you run the risk of making yourself and your life chaotic and messy, which is no good to anybody - least of all yourself.

If you find it all too much for you to manage, perhaps you should consider seeing a counsellor to help you unpack what's going on.

Am thinking of you. xx

I just wanna curl up in a ball and sleep til he comes home.

Wurly, I know you're worried for your nephew because he had a bad time when he was on remand and you will have heard all sorts of stories about drugs in prisons. It's not a good situation but:

• He has loving, supportive people (your mum & dad, you) to come back to. This will be a huge comfort to him now and will massively increase his life chances when released

• he is young and has been given a short sentence. He has (cliche, sorry) his whole life ahead of him. If he can be supported to make good choices then this is nothing in the scheme of a happy life well lived.

• before he was sentenced he'd already made positive changes so he obviously wants to be a different person. This more than anything will help him succeed in reaching this goal.

• his conviction will be "spent" under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act while he is still very young and it can truly be put behind him.

• he has not hurt or killed anyone, this is all still fixable.

I know I can't make you feel better about this. Are you able to visit? Can you find out whether he'll be eligible for any programmes, education or training while he's there?

Thinking of you and your family.

how are you feeling?

glad you had some bread - have you had anything else?

made myself eat dinner, didnt really enjoy it tho. If this doesnt ease then i will go and see the doctor.
